class: ComboBox

[106:7] extends: Node, Control, Region

ComboBox wraps the JavaFX ComboBox control, a drop-down selection widget that combines a button with a pop-up list of choices. Users can select one item from the list, and when the control is set to editable mode they can also type a custom value directly into the text field portion. The style class combo-box is applied by default, and the control inherits all CSS properties from ComboBoxBase and Control. The tables below list every CSS property available to ComboBox, organized by the class level where each property is defined. Properties defined at a higher level are inherited by all subclasses below it.
